Mounds View Public Schools received one grant for Irondale High School from the Legislature’s school safety grants passed during the 2018 session; all of its other requests for other schools, totaling about $1.14 million, were not granted. The Legislature approved $25 million in school safety grants but a total of $255.5 million in requests were made, according to the Minnesota Department of Education. High-priority projects were given preference and then chosen at random until the $25 million had been assigned. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety’s Minnesota School Safety Center helped to determine high-priority projects. High-priority projects were defined as improvements to exterior entry security and communication systems. Half of the funds were designated for schools outside the 11-county metropolitan area. Irondale was one of 123 school buildings across the state to receive grants. About 1,000 schools made requests.

He was redirected to Greco’s newest luxury apartment building in Shoreview’s corporate park, Loden SV, just across Lexington Avenue from his job. And he was sold on the place — a recreation of Greco’s urban lifestyle for the suburbs. In the lobby, there are lattes and espresso available 24/7 from the apart-

On Monday morning, head across the parking lot with us to the Shoreview Community Center, where 68 new citizens from 26 countries take the Oath of Citizenship during a Naturalization Ceremony presented by Ramsey County Library, the city of Shoreview and the Shoreview Human Rights Commission. Meanwhile, a horde of preschoolers from the Community Center walks over to the library for Family Storytime. Our children’s librarian gathers a crowd of almost 100 excited children (and their grownups) for songs, stories and fun. In the afternoon, you’ll find a group of teens in the teen room, deeply engrossed in strategy games during the library’s Game Night Unplugged. But the busy day is not over yet.
